427 knocking
Alright
I have a 427 and missed 3rd and over revved it and a few weeks later it started knocking. Had to replace the valve train and lifters on the passenger side. Once I had everything replaced it is still making a knocking sound that sounds like it's coming maybe from the cam? I'm not a mechanic and I've had a lot of different story's on what is wrong. Just looking for some other opinions.

If you over revved it, there's a possibility that it's a bent pushrod. You said that you replaced the valve train on the passenger side, is the "knock" coming from the driver's side now?

Drain the oil into a clean container and inspect for any signs of copper bearing material.
Perform a leak-down test on all cylinders which will tell you if you have a bent valve
By the way, where are you located?
